Write Your Own Constitution Workshop

Roosevelt Fri Nov 8 6:00pm – 7:00pm

Bring your laptop. The colony ship has landed and the settlers have

chance to be a Founder of the Nation: write your own Constitution of laws.
How would you choose to govern and be governed?

Grá Linnaea, Katie Lane, Amy Thomson, Guy Letourneau, Bob
